Chapter 436: Intention to defect to the Wei State
Qin Xuan asked Mu Fu to help him up, and then the group went back to the General's Mansion, and at this time, Wu Wei's family had already been arrested.
Wu Wei and his wife were also locked up.
Qin Xuan and others corrected in the General's Mansion for one night, and the next morning, Wu Wei, Wu Wei's wife Kang Ruhua, and the Wu family's people were all escorted to the cemetery outside the West City, and 10,000 people stayed at the East Gate, including Wu Wei's 50,000 people all gathered outside the West City, but these people's weapons had already been dropped, and they could not pose any threat.
80,000 Qin Xuan's team, 50,000 Wu Wei's team, today Qin Xuan will let everyone know how evil this person is.
At this time, on the execution ground that was built, Zhang Han wore armor and went up with his own weapons.
"Today we are going to interrogate Wu Wei and his family, Wu Wei everyone knows that he is the general of Jiuquan, and he has been in Jiuquan City for more than ten years, relying on his wife's sister to be the emperor's imperial concubine, and he actually killed the officials who colluded with the city, wantonly collected money, and also withheld the grain and grass of many troops, I am Zhang Han, the grain transportation officer."
"I've seen him do this many times."
"I think the people of you who are here, especially Wu Wei's people, know this kind of thing best."
"And the people on your side should know."
Knowing that Wu Wei was going to be beheaded, as a result, the people of Jiuquan City also drank too much and poured out of Xicheng.
I came to the execution ground to see how this thing got the retribution it deserved.
"Kill him, kill him, he's simply exploiting us."
"All kinds of taxes, all kinds of excesses and miscellaneous taxes, our people are miserable."
Qin Xuan and Mu Fu both sat on the side, watching everyone's reactions.
"Did General Zhao see it, I said a long time ago that as a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, you see how happy the people below are, and their happiness also indicates the corruption of the court, hey."
"Do you think so?"
"Of course, General Zhao, do you know why the Wei army is so powerful?"
Qin Xuan saw Mu Fu talking about this, so he became interested and simply said.
"But it doesn't hurt you to say it."
"I heard that the Wei State increased agriculture and water conservancy on their original land, and the Yangtze River on their side and the Yellow River in the north are now being managed."
"What does that mean?"
"This shows that the emperor of Wei paid attention to farming, and built dikes to improve the occurrence of floods, and secondly, to use this water to irrigate farmland, and everyone knows that water goes lower, and the lower the place, the better the farmland."
"Their grain harvest after year is bumper, and in some places the state is exempt from paying grain."
"The people are well fed and clothed, they will have money, and the country is so rich that it can support them to fight, so the army of hundreds of thousands of people is invincible, you are looking at us."
"The generals are all withholding the people and the army, what kind of war is this?"
"You're right, Wu Wei is suitable for business, not for generals, if he does business, he will definitely become the richest person in the Western Xia Kingdom."
"But then again, the country is like this, and I want to take refuge in Wei."
Mu Fu looked at Zhao Wushuang, it seemed that Zhao Wushuang had already had this plan.
"Hey, I also heard that the Wei State is bound to take the Western Xia Kingdom this time and establish an equal and fair empire."
"Of course, the next crusade of this empire is our Western Xia, I have lost confidence in such a country, I don't want to fight for Brahma anymore, I fight for them, they in turn still want to bully the people, bully us soldiers."
"Why do we have to give them our lives?"
"Just like these brothers in the back, they did their duty to transport food to Jiuquan, but who would have thought that they did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of their own people, and the death was still so ridiculous."
"It's really not worth it for them, we killed Wu Wei and Kang Ruhua today, their sister won't let us go, we just killed Kang Yuan and killed Kang Ru
Flowers, then Emperor Kang will not give up."
"So what do you want to do?"
"Why don't we go against the Western Xia Kingdom, and we go to the Wei Kingdom?"
Mu Fu knew that it was very dangerous to say such a thing, after all, Zhao Wushuang gave people the impression that he was so patriotic.
"Brother, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
"I'm afraid what's the use, if you and Wu Wei are the same as them, then kill them, but you are not, so I don't worry about what you will do to me."
"Since you have that idea, let's talk about it when we get back."
"Okay."
Qin Xuan and Mu Fu sat on the side and chatted for a long time, and Zhang Han also announced several major crimes against Wu Wei, so he rushed to kill the soldiers who transported the grain, and privately seized the grain and grass and military salaries, which was enough for Wu Wei to die a hundred times.
"Wu Wei, what crime should you be guilty of?"
"Zhang Han is all my fault, please let me go, please, I can give you all my money, millions of taels."
"Bah, is that your money, that's the country's, that's the people's, does it have anything to do with you?"
"I'll ask you if you confess your sins?"
"Confess, confess my sins."
"Okay, since you confess to the crime, the official will sentence you to five horses and beheadings of your family."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the Wu family and Kang Ruhua collapsed instantly, this is a sin of being beheaded, generally such generals are determined by the imperial court, but Qin Xuan does not belong to Western Xia, so killing them here is equivalent to giving the Wei army a good way. qs
"General Zhang, please, I don't want to die."
"I don't want to die, why didn't you think that you would fall to this point when you did these things, do you think that your wife's sister is the imperial concubine and we won't dare to punish you, let me tell you, this is the army, not child's play."
"Good, good, good."
There were shouts from the crowd for such a rogue general was finally going to be cleaned up.
At this time, Wu Wei's soldiers also knew that Wu Wei was really finished this time, and they were also chanting.
More than 100,000 people outside Xicheng looked at the execution ground, knowing that this general was going to be executed.
"Someone is coming, and I'm going to be executed."
Zhang Han knew that the moment for revenge had finally arrived.
At this time, five military horses came to the execution ground, and the military horses had a rope tied to their armor.
Wu Wei was taken off the execution ground, and both legs were already weak, and he couldn't stand up at all.
Two soldiers carried him to the center of the execution ground and placed him on the ground.
"Heaven, earth, why should I be greedy for all this money, in the end I still didn't spend it, but I buried my name."
"Phew, you can only blame yourself."
The executioner spat a few mouthfuls of saliva on Wu Wei's face.
Wu Wei knew that he would inevitably die.
"Bolt up."
